2020 Hyundai Nexo Air Filter in Auburn, MA

The 2020 Hyundai NEXO’s intake air filter is in the front engine bay, housed in a sealed air box ahead of the motor unit.

This hydrogen fuel-cell SUV uses a primary intake filter for the fuel-cell stack rather than a traditional combustion engine filter. Access typically involves releasing the air-box clips and lifting the cover. If you drive Central MA routes with winter sand and road debris, inspect more frequently.

• Location: front engine bay, sealed rectangular air-box
• Purpose: filters air for the fuel-cell stack intake
• Tip: check after heavy pollen or winter sanding

The 2020 Hyundai NEXO cabin air filter sits behind the glove box in the HVAC intake.

Lower the glove box, release the side stops, and you’ll see the rectangular cabin filter cover. Swapping this filter helps reduce pollen and dust along Route 12 and improves defogging during New England winters.

• Access: remove/lower glove box to reach filter door
• Benefits: cleaner cabin air, stronger airflow
• Check after peak pollen or leaf-fall seasons

The NEXOs intake air filter protects the fuel-cell system, while the cabin air filter cleans the air you breathe through the HVAC.

Although the NEXO has no gasoline engine, its fuel-cell stack still needs clean intake air for performance and efficiency. The cabin filter targets pollen, dust, and odors inside the SUV, especially useful around Auburn and Worcester.

• Intake filter: safeguards fuel-cell stack components
• Cabin filter: improves in-cabin air quality
• Both are distinct parts with different service steps

Common signs include reduced acceleration, worse efficiency, weak HVAC airflow, and musty odors.

For the intake filter, you may notice sluggish response or higher energy use on familiar Auburn-Worcester drives. For the cabin filter, airflow drops and the system can smell stale, especially after leaf and pollen seasons.

• Performance: slower response, increased consumption
• HVAC: reduced airflow, foggy windows, odors
• Visual: dark, debris-laden filter media

Yesthe cabin filter is typically DIY-friendly, while the intake filter is more involved and often left to a qualified technician.
